Overfill Prevention Sensor Testing Device Type ME 5

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides operating instructions for the Overfill Prevention Sensor Testing Device, Type ME 5, manufactured by FAFNIR GmbH. It outlines the device's function, usage, and technical specifications.

Functionality: The ME 5 device is designed to test overfill prevention sensors by heating them with an intrinsically safe electric current. The heating and switching-off times are measured and displayed on an LC-display. The device also records and displays the QSS code for product recognition.

Usage Instructions: The ME 5 must be used outside hazardous zones and requires a coupling type FP 903 for product recognition. It operates with Ni-MH accumulators, which must be charged using the FAFNIR charging unit. Charging takes approximately 14 hours and can only occur when the device is not in use.

Operating Procedure: The document provides a step-by-step guide for connecting the GWG, initiating tests, and interpreting LC-display messages. Key actions include connecting the GWG, switching on the ME 5, and following prompts to measure heating and switching-off times. Error messages guide troubleshooting for issues like defective plugs or GWG malfunctions.

Technical Specifications: The device operates within an ambient temperature range of 0 °C to +50 °C and has a protection type of IP 30. It requires a supply voltage of 24 V, 7.2 V DC, with maximum values of U0 ≤ 26 V, I0 ≤ 166 mA, and P0 ≤ 1,000 mW. The nominal values are U ≤ 19 V, I ≤ 120 mA, and P ≤ 570 mW. The device is certified under TÜV 03 ATEX 2141.

Materials and Dimensions: The coupling type 903 is made of PVC, while the FP 903 is made of PA6.6. The connecting cable is PVC sheathed copper wire, and the housing is ASB. The coupling dimensions are ∅ 60 mm x 137 mm, and the housing dimensions are 196 x 100 x 40 mm.

Accessories: The device comes with a charging unit and a plastic case with a moulded tray for storage.
